Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography Enables the Detection of a Cold Pressor Test-Induced Increase in Renal Microcirculation in Healthy Participants

BackgroundRenal microcirculation is essential for regulation of the glomerular filtration rate, the reabsorption of salt and water from the interstitium, and hence the blood pressure. Renal ultrasonography coupled to Doppler analysis and contrast-enhanced ultrasound enables the study of renal perfus...
